Light and Shadow Merge in Perfect Harmony.

Gary Oakley, ‘Purple Passages,’
Oil on Canvas, 60″ x 60″

Two artists from different worlds with very different techniques will meet in an extraordinary artistic union on March 23rd. Australian artist Danielle Hatherley (now a Boulder resident) and New Mexico artist Gary Oakley will combine their considerable talents in an exhibit hosted by Mirada Fine Art entitled ‘Shadow Shift.’ What makes these two artists a perfect pairing is their mastery at distilling a scene down to its essence. Carefully edited color palettes capture the instance light and shadow meet, shift, are united and merge in gleaming harmony in their contemporary landscapes. “Danielle and Gary seemed like a perfect pairing to me,” enthused gallery owner Steve Sonnen. “They evoke a similar feel, a tranquil yet vibrant mood that epitomizes our Colorado lifestyle and surroundings.”

Danielle Hatherley,
‘Fleeting Moment, Central Park,’
Oil on Canvas, 30″ x 48″

That perfect harmonious moment is what inspires (or as the artist herself admits,’obsesses’) Danielle Hatherley to paint. Danielle grew up trying to capture the spectacular light of Sydney’s harbor and beaches. Recreating a scene, however, soon became not enough for this artist. Capturing the play of sunlight and shadow became her passion. Her move to Colorado with its stunning vistas and sunsets reinvigorated her work. Sunsets, backlit forests and luminous abstracted landscapes leap from her radiant canvasses with unrivaled clarity and tone.

Gary Oakley, ‘Drawing,’
Oil on Canvas, 18″ x 18″

The road artist Gary Oakley has taken in his artistic journey has been long and varied, culminating in his current technique. Capturing the rich hues of the Western landscape within his canvases, Oakley employs unexpected pops of metallic paint and texture. A Geology major with a Master’s in Psychology, Gary began to listen to his ‘inner artist’ in the 1990s, initially becoming a photographer, and later turning his attention to painting. He continues to create compositions of a scene in his mind, seeing the world as if through a camera’s lens and zooming in on essential elements.

The melding of these two artists’ visions are captured in ‘shadow SHIFT,’ kicking off with an artists’ reception on Friday, March 23rd from 6-9pm at Mirada Fine Art.

Kate Gilmore "Morning Rage" - ASPECT / RATIO Projects Gallery
2018-03-15
MORNING RAGE:
KATE GILMORE
02.23.2018 – 04.07.2018
~

Aspect/Ratio is pleased to present Morning Rage, the first Chicago solo exhibition for artist Kate Gilmore.
Morning Rage will introduce new sculptural works, as well as the single channel video Beat It. This video was part of an installation and performance created for the H & R Block Space in Kansas City, Missouri. Michael Jackson’s famous 80’s hit song title is appropriated here, while the video unfolds through an oculus in the sculpture taken from a fixed camera stationed overhead. Throughout the video, the walls of the installation are being dismantled and reconfigured to reveal a series of stenciled text that reads: ‘beat it,’ repeated over and over.
Through the use of repetition and performance, much of Gilmore’s practice demonstrates a resolute transformative process that comes out of destruction. Destruction and dexterity are arsenal for the artist who consistently goes well beyond the limitations of what material is generally prepared to endure. It is with this prowess and fervor that fuel her latest sculptural works. Highly lacquered metal cubes are hammered continuously, creating scars and dismantling their otherwise polished appearance.
Kate Gilmore is a New York multimedia based artist and Associate Professor of Art and Design at Purchase College at SUNY Purchase. Gilmore received her MFA from the School of Visual Arts and Bachelors from Bates College. Her work has been shown at numerous institutions including: Museum of Modern Art, MCA Chicago, San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, Brooklyn Museum, ICA Philadelphia and The Rose Art Museum. Notable exhibitions and awards include: The Art Prize 2015; the Whitney Biennial 2010; The Moscow Biennial, Moscow; and PS1 Greater New York 2005 & 2010. Gilmore’s work is included in many public institutional collections: Museum of Modern Art, New York; Brooklyn Museum, Brooklyn, New York; Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, NY; Museum of Fine Arts, Boston, Massachusetts; San Francisco Museum of Modern Art, San Francisco, California; Rose Art Museum, Waltham, Massachusetts; Indianapolis Museum of Art, Indiana, Indianapolis; and Museum of Contemporary Art, Chicago, Illinois.

Kavi Gupta is pleased to present CHEMICAL SUBLIME, a solo exhibition of original work by Beverly Fishman.
Combining the handmade with the industrial, Fishman employs a variety of techniques to explore technological, scientific, and biological systems of perception and representation, instigating constructive conversations about the ways people see their bodies and minds, and construct their identities. Her most illustrious bodies of work engage with the visual language of the medical industrial complex. For example, her highly-polished Pill reliefs utilize iconic pharmaceutical forms as the basis for seemingly abstract compositions that radiate with color. Her brilliantly complex Dividosepaintings appropriate the unsettling, multilayered, linear aesthetic of medical imaging technologies such as EEG and EKG machines, provoking levels of optical fascination capable of eliciting physiological responses from viewers.
Though seemingly direct, Fishman’s work is daringly open. It poetically kindles the most pressing issues of our time: how humanity sees itself and allows itself to be seen; the extent to which technology alters our perception of ourselves; the choices we face whether to alter our reality or to alter our experience of it. Equally important to its meaning are its formal aspects: its juxtaposition of colors and patterns; its evocative art historical references; its oscillation between abstraction and representation. Of constant primacy is the work’s undeniable exactitude of craft, which elevates its physical presence to heights equal to its enigmatic conceptual depth.
Fishman has relentlessly sought out new materials and processes in order to realize her evolving vision. That search has occasionally yielded opportunities to pioneer new production techniques, always in service to the concepts she is exploring. Her materials list has included traditional supports such as wood, paper, blown glass and aluminum, as well as more unconventional elements like cast resin, mirrored Plexiglass, powder-coated metal and phosphorescent pigments. She also frequently uses mediums like chrome and urethane automotive paint that speak in conversation with the legacy of the Detroit area, where she has lived and worked as the Artist-in-Residence and Head of the Painting Department of the Cranbrook Academy of Art since 1992.
Since earning her MFA from Yale in 1980, Fishman has received multiple prestigious awards, including a John Simon Guggenheim Memorial Foundation Fellowship, the Louis Comfort Tiffany Foundation Award, and an NEA Fellowship Grant. Her work has been written about extensively in the press, including in The New York Times, Art21 Magazine, Hyperallergic, Art Critical and Juxtapose. Her recent solo exhibitions include DOSE, curated by Nick Cave, at the CUE Art Foundation, New York, NY, Pill Spill, at the Detroit Institute of Art, Detroit, MI, and Pharmako, at Galerie Richard, Paris, France.
Work by Fishman is included in multiple private and institutional collections, including that of the Miami Art Museum, the MacArthur Foundation, Alfred Taubman, the Detroit Institute of Arts, the Columbus Museum of Art, The Kresge Art Museum, and the Istanbul Art Centre.

Gregory Block Solo Exhibition
March 14th – May 13th

Modern humans are pretty good at getting from point A to point B, especially with our phones to tell us where to go and how to get there. But we are here. Where’s that?
Sometimes it doesn’t hurt to get the bigger picture; to step back and look at things in context. This series of maps, constructed from aluminum cans and carpet tacks, firmly anchors the viewer in the universe, the Milky Way Galaxy, the solar system, and on earth, and hones in on our very real location amid the hustle and bustle of everyday life. It’s a tourist guide, an explorer’s tool, an evacuation plan; a study of civil engineering, geography, astrophysics and the boundaries of human intelligence. But more than anything, it’s a reminder that regardless of where we’re going or where we’re coming from, we are always here.
This exhibition will be on display daily at the SugarCube Building at 1555 Blake St.

Opening reception: Wednesday, March 14th 6:30-8:30pm

2018-03-10 17:00 - 20:00
Exhibition run: March 10 – April 21, 2018

Doug Stapleton’s collages employ extreme precision, keen composition, and idiosyncratic source materials which address identity, history, and ancestral themes. His interest in traditional illustrative and reproduction techniques give his work gravity and a sense of solidity.

Jeffrey Michael Austin has a fascination with the phenomenon of reflection. He works with materials that imitate and amplify reflective qualities. His simulacra of ordinary objects employ illusory effects to mediate and obscure reflectivity.

Adriana Corral - Unearthed: Desenterrado - Socorro, TX & El Paso, Juárez
2018-03-09
Black Cube Sheds Light on Shadowed Part of
American History, U.S.-Mexico Border Control

March 9 – June 9, 2018

Located in Socorro, Texas

A 60-foot flagpole, hoisting a large-scale white flag adorned with bald and golden eagles, will serve as counter-monument, acknowledging a facility that processed Mexican workers into the U.S. between 1951-1964.
Adriana Corral – Unearthed – Desenterrado
February 27, 2018 – Black Cube’s latest exhibition, Unearthed: Desenterrado, is an outdoor, large-scale artwork by Texas-based artist Adriana Corral. Located within the historic grounds of the Rio Vista Farm in Socorro, Texas, the installation—featuring a solitary 60-foot flagpole hoisting an enormous white, cotton flag—speaks to the deeply rooted history between the U.S. and Mexico. Embroidered on either side of the flag is the illustration of a “Mexican” golden eagle and an “American” bald eagle, each emblematic of their respective nation’s patriotism.
Visible from the El Paso–Juárez horizon from March 9 until June, the flag stands as a counter-monument for the Rio Vista Farm, a facility most notably recognized as a key-processing center for the Bracero Program. The Bracero Program, which was established by the federal government during World War II, is known as one of the largest foreign worker programs in U.S. history. According to finding from the National Trust for Historic Preservation, many people have described the Bracero Program as a period of “legalized slavery” in which Mexican workers “were met with medical and psychological examinations, stripped of their clothing, organized into lines, and fumigated with DDT before they could be evaluated by farming contractors.”
Cortney Lane Stell, Black Cube’s Executive Director + Chief Curator, believes that “by calling attention to this overlooked park of American history, Corral’s work endeavors to stand as an acknowledgement of unknown human rights violations, as well as to inspire deeper conversations about our history —and future—of border control along the U.S.–Mexico border.”
“This project emphasizes the importance of recognizing and confronting the voids within our American history,” Corral adds.
Adriana Corral – Unearthed – Desenterrado
Unearthed: Desenterrado will be on display at the Rio Vista Center until June. During the three-month exhibition, Corral’s flag will become tattered and worn due to inclement weather. After its display in Socorro, the flag will be exhibited in museums and cultural institutions across the country.
About Adriana Corral
Adriana Corral is based in San Antonio, Texas. Her installations, performances, and sculptures embody universal themes of loss, human rights violations, concealment, and memory.

Corral received her Master of Fine Arts from The University of Texas at Austin and completed her Bachelor of Fine Arts at the University of Texas at El Paso. In 2016, Corral was invited to attend the 106th session of the Working Group on Enforced and Involuntary Disappearances at the United Nations in Geneva, Switzerland.
